PROMPT: Historical Events

What major historical events do you remember?

From the Iranian Hostage Crisis onward, pretty much all of them — given they were considered “major” in whatever place I was living at the time.

Tagore Looms [Haiku]

Tagore looms,
wind-swept & erudite,
in mind & presence.

the prow points our way
to open sea.

PROMPT: Risk

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

Fully embrace the crazy, in the manner of Diogenes, Blake, or Drukpa Kunley.

PROMPT: Don’t Know

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

Some people who know me (and most people who don’t) might not know that I would never announce something on a public forum that the people who know me don’t already know. I’m strangely private that way.
